<H2>2. Supported CLHEP and VecGeom versions</H2>
This release of Geant4 requires and has been verified with
<A TARGET="ext" HREF="http://cern.ch/clhep/">CLHEP</A>, release <B>2.4.5.1</B>.
Use of a different CLHEP version may cause incorrect simulation results.<BR>
NOTE: an internal module of the relevant CLHEP classes is provided and can be
used as alternative to an external CLHEP library installation.<BR>
A configuration option allows a Geant4 installation to use the
<A HREF="https://gitlab.cern.ch/VecGeom/VecGeom/">VecGeom Library</A>
primitives, to replace the original Geant4 solids. VecGeom version
<B>1.1.18</B> is required when using such configuration.

<H2>3. Items for migration of the user code</H2>
Listed here is some relevant information on developments included in this
release.
Note that for all users a full re-installation of libraries (or a full
re-compilation) and a re-compilation of user applications is required.
<P> </P>
<B>General</B>
<P> </P>
<UL>
<LI>Simplified G4String interfaces and implementation with C++11/17.
Removed obsolete/std::string synonym member functions and deprecated
non-std::string member functions, replacing with new free functions in
G4StrUtil namespace. Might require user code adaptation where G4String
functions are explicitly used; for details see
<A HREF="#string-migration-notes">Section 10</A> of this document.</LI>
<LI>Major update the G4PhysicsVector and related classes; introduced new public
access methods; removed obsolete unused methods; introduced possibility to
use different Spline methods.</LI>
<LI>Removed deprecated classes G4LPhysicsFreeVector and G4PhysicsLnVector;
redirect G4PhysicsOrderedFreeVector to G4PhysicsFreeVector.</LI>
<LI>New version of G4PhysicsModelCatalog, the catalog of physics models.
Introduced a modelID (a unique integer for each physics model, with close
values for similar/related physics models), besides an index (the position
in a vector) and the name (string) of the model. The main difference with
respect to the previous version is that the three identifiers of each
physics model - modelID, index and name - must stay constant and the same
for all applications, physics lists and future versions of Geant4.</LI>
<LI>C++17 is the minimum ISO C++ Standard required to compile Geant4 and all
applications using it.</LI>
<LI>Multithreading support is now enabled in the build of Geant4 by default.</LI>
<LI>CMake 3.16 is the minimum version required to build Geant4.</LI>
</UL>
<B>Analysis</B>
<UL>
<LI>Major revision in analysis classes. Migration to G4ThreadLocalSingleton
in all specific analysis manager and reader classes. The singleton instances
are now deleted by the Geant4 kernel; their explicit deletion in client code
has to be removed.</LI>
<LI>New G4AnalysisReader.hh header, defining G4AnalysisManager as
G4GenericAnalysisManager; G4GenericAnalysisManager can handle all supported
file formats, so file names should be provided with an extension (.csv,
.hdf5, .root or .xml). To continue using file names without extensions,
users can set the default file type using the new function
SetDefaultFileType(...). Output specific headers have been removed.</LI>
<LI>Also removed g4analysis.hh header with the G4Analysis::MasterInstance()
factory method.</LI>
<LI>Added new G4VAnalysisReader public function CloseFiles() to be called by
user before the end of program and its implementation for all readers.</LI>
</UL>
<P> </P>
<B>Geometry, Fields and Transportation</B>
<P> </P>
<UL>
<LI>Removed deprecated accessors in G4Sphere and G4Tubs.</LI>
<LI>G4[Partial]PhantomParameterisation: renamed Get/SetNoVoxel*() accessors
to Get/SetNoVoxels*() for coherence. Might imply user code migration.</LI>
</UL>
<P> </P>
<B>Electromagnetic and optical physics</B>
<P> </P>
<UL>
<LI>G4EmProcessOptions class has been removed. Adaptation of custom user made
physics-lists may be required.</LI>
<LI>Removed deprecated material properties for G4Scintillation. Now
the "enhanced" time constants of version 10.7 are the only way to specify
scintillation properties.</LI>
<LI>Added protection against typos in material property names. To create a
user-defined material property (or material constant property), add the
<TT>createNewKey=true</TT> argument to <TT>Add(Const)Property()</TT>.</LI>
<LI>Removed redundant optical UI commands.</LI>
</UL>
<P> </P>
<B>Hadronic physics configuration</B>
<P> </P>
<UL>
<LI>Constructors for inelastic processes have changed signature, as well
as for elastic and inelastic cross-sections.<BR>
This affects the internal configuration in physics-lists.
See the details in <A HREF="#hadronic-migration-notes">Section 10</A>
of this document, for the required adaptations in <I>custom</I>
physics-lists.</LI>
<LI>Deprecated environmental variables used in NeutronHP, ParticleHP and
Radioactive Decay have been removed: they have been replaced by equivalent
UI commands (already introduced in previous versions).</LI>
</UL>
<P> </P>
<B>Visualization and Modeling</B>
<P> </P>
<UL>
<LI>As of this release, the recommended and supported Open Inventor driver
will be the Qt-based one (OIQt viewer option). The Xt/Xm drivers (OIX,
OIXE) are still available but are deprecated and will be removed in the
next release.</LI>
<LI>Qt drivers require the Qt-5 platform. Qt-6 is not yet supported.</LI>
<LI>The G4VModel interface has been simplified. Responsibility for transformation
and extent has been delegated to individual models. For example, there is no
longer a method G4VModel::GetTransformedExtent(), the concrete model is
required to maintain the extent depending on the transformation (if any) and
a simple GetExtent() returns the current extent.</LI>
</UL>
<P> </P>
<B>Data Sets</B>
<P> </P>
<UL>
<LI>This release introduces new data set versions.
Please see the corresponding details in
<A href="#data-notes">Section 9</A> of this document.
<UL>
<LI>New data set versions: <TT>G4EMLOW-8.0, G4PARTICLEXS-4.0</TT>.</LI>
<LI>In order to use <TT>ParticleHP</TT> for charged particles
(protons, deuterons, tritons, He3 and alphas), an optional data
set <TT>G4TENDL-1.4</TT> is required, and can be optionally
downloaded in addition.</LI>

<!-- ============================================== -->
<H2>4. New Developments and Capabilities </H2>
<B>General</B>
<UL>
<LI>Tasking system, based on PTL (Parallel Tasking Library) v2.0.0, is set
as default parallelism scheme for multi-threading. A dedicated run manager
(G4TaskRunManager) and factory (G4RunManagerFactory) are provided,
enabling use of tasks for the event loop.
The tasking system is fully compatible with Intel TBB, which can be
selected if GEANT4_USE_TBB=ON is specified when configuring CMake. The
default behavior for tasking is to submit the tasks to an internal
thread-pool and task-queue.</LI>
<LI>New G4SteppingVerboseWithUnits class, an alternative to G4SteppingVerbose
with printout of proper units. Simplified way of defining a user-specific
stepping verbose, that is now common to all sequential, MT and tasking
modes.</LI>
<LI>Introducing G4VTrackingManager, an interface for custom tracking
managers specialized for one or a small number of particle types.
Custom tracking manager is used in G4VUserPhysicsList, if registered.
G4EventManager hands over tracks to custom tracking manager, if registered
for the particle.</LI>
<LI>Added new Ranlux++ engine to the list of supported random engines.</LI>
<LI>G4String provides a new <TT>G4StrUtil</TT> namespace with functions for
simple string manipulation, including left/right stripping, case
conversion, and searching.</LI>
</UL>
<B>Analysis</B>
<UL>
<LI>New public functions G4VAnalysisManager::Reset() and Clear() allowing
resetting and deleting all allocated analysis objects and clearing
their collections.</LI>
<LI>Added support for n-tuple columns of string vectors via new public
functions in G4VAnalysisManager and G4VAnalysisReader</LI>

<LI>New class G4OpticalMaterialProperties, a store for optical material properties
and allow use of predefined optical material properties.</LI>
<LI>In G4MaterialPropertiesTable, the use of <TT>std::vector</TT> for material
properties and material const properties, rather than <TT>std::map</TT>,
eliminates the need to find the map entry.</LI>
</UL>
<B>Electromagnetic physics</B>
<UL>
<LI>General code cleanup in EM modules; removed obsolete models and processes,
removed G4EmProcessOptions class.</LI>
<LI>Updates to G4GammaGeneralProcess: exclude gamma-nuclear from the 2<SUP>nd</SUP>
energy area.</LI>

including cross-section shape with 2 maxima.</LI>
<LI>Reviewed EM part of G4PhysicsModelCatalog to adopt new numbering convention.
Created new enum for low-energy electromagnetic process sub-types.</LI>
<LI>Updated G4UrbanMscModel to not apply energy correction at small steps
below 1% of a particle range.</LI>
<LI>G4VEmFluctuationModel: changed interface; both cut value and max energy
transfer are parameters of main methods.</LI>

<UL>
<LI>General code clean-up in hadronic processes and models; removed obsolete
and deprecated classes; removed obsolete "rpg" model.</LI>
<LI>Introduced a new threshold parameter in radioactive-decay for analogue mode
to kill very long radioactive decays at rest of nuclides happening later
than such threshold.</LI>
<LI>Introduced six light hypernuclei and their corresponding antiparticles
(for the time being, only electromagnetic interactions of these particles
are available, but switched off by default).</LI>
<LI>Extended the interface of hadronic models for projectile hypernuclei and
anti-hypernuclei (but not yet hadronic physics for these particles).</LI>
<LI>Added implementation of hypercluster emission in INCLXX.</LI>
<LI>Extended interface of the Fritiof (FTF) string model to get the number of
projectile/target spectator nucleons, number of nucleon-nucleon collisions
and impact parameter (see example <TT>Hadr09</TT>).</LI>
</UL>
<B>Physics Lists</B>
<UL>
<LI>Updated physics lists to use a uniform approach for verbosity.</LI>

<LI><B>Radioactive Decay</B>
<UL>
<LI>G4RadioactiveDecay, G4RadioactiveDecayMessenger: introduced
a new parameter for analogue mode to kill very long radioactive decays
at rest of nuclides happening later than this threshold parameter.
Its default value (10^27 ns) corresponds to more than twice the age of
the universe. The value of the threshold can be changed via a new UI
command, e.g. to set it to 1000 years:
<TT>/process/had/rdm/thresholdForVeryLongDecayTime 3.1536e+10 second</TT>.
This kind of cut has been introduced in order to avoid to account
energy depositions happening after many billions of years in ordinary
materials used in calorimetry, in particular Tungsten and Lead - via
their natural unstable, but very long lived, isotopes, such as
W183, W180 and Pb204. Note that the cut is not on the average, mean
lifetime, but on the actual sampled global decay time.</LI>

<LI>Introduced six light hypernuclei and their corresponding antiparticles:

G4AntiHyperH4, G4DoubleHyperH4, G4AntiDoubleHyperH4, G4HyperHe5,
G4AntiHyperHe5, G4DoubleHyperDoubleNeutron, G4AntiDoubleHyperDoubleNeutron.
The following simplifying assumptions have been made:
(a) No hyper-deuteron, no hyper-He3; (b) the masses of these hyperons have
been computed using the existing method
G4HyperNucleiProperties::GetNuclearMass(); (c) the lifetimes are all assumed
to be the same as the Lambda's lifetime; (d) the decays are obtained from the
two decays of the (anti-)Lambda (with the same branching ratios as for a free
Lambda), assuming, whenever possible, that 50% of the emitted (anti-)nucleon
will be captured by the (anti-)nucleus where the decay of the (anti-)Lambda
occurs. In the case of double-hyperon, only one of the two Lambdas
is assumed to decay.</LI>

<LI><B>Modeling:</B>
<UL>
<LI>Revised vis models: over time, models have sprouted some inconsistencies.
This is an attempt to rationalise them. The most significant model, used
in all applications to draw the detector, is G4PhysicaVolumeModel. To
handle all the options, G4PhysicalVolumeModel takes care of the
transformation of any primitives that it generates. It ignores the
transformation available in the base class, G4VModel. This revision
brings all models in line with this policy.
At the same time, we remove G4Scale and G4ScaleModel. G4Scale is an
anomaly. It is not a "primitive" (obviously), but somehow, from the long
distant past, it was implemented as though it was. These classes have been
removed and <TT>/vis/scene/add/scale</TT> reimplemented with
G4CallBackModel.</LI>
<LI>Introducing new primitive G4Plotter.</LI>
<LI>G4PhysicalVolumeModel: make CalculateExtent() a public function.
Fixed bug in calculation of extent. In Validate(), avoid crash if
volume no longer in physical volume store; improved warning message.</LI>
<LI>Introducing G4Mesh, a light class that encapsulates and validates a
nested parameterisation, called a "mesh". If a valid mesh cannot be
created out of a G4VPhysicalVolume, it will have a type "invalid".
The overhead of an invalid attempt is expected to be small, all the
same it should only be invoked if the user specifies mesh rendering.</LI>
<LI>G4ModelingParameters: added new data members and access functions.</LI>
<LI>G4PhysicalVolumeModel: added code for special mesh rendering, under
control of user flag. If flag is set by the above commands, and if a
volume is a "mesh" (a container for a nested parameterisation), invoke
new method AddCompound(const G4Mesh&).</LI>
<LI>G4PhysicalVolumeModel: moved fFullPVPath.push_back earlier, addressing
a bug in visualisation of touchables.</LI>
<LI>Improved G4VModel; make SetTransform() virtual.</LI>
<LI>G4ArrowModel, G4AxesModel and G4TextModel: implement SetTransform().</LI>
<LI>Take care to apply to original model. For example, if SetTransform() is
called more than once it must apply to the original.</LI>
<LI>G4PhysicalVolumeModel: for the resultant of clipping, set the
visualisation attributes of the original.</LI>
<LI>G4VFieldModel: Change concept of choice of data points: this model
simply checked that a data point was within the extent.
Now it uses the extent to determine the datapoint spacing.
Note: if <TT>fExtentForField</TT> is null, the used extent is that of the
current scene; otherwise it uses that supplied by the user.</LI>
<LI>G4PhysicalVolumesSearchScene: allow user to limit the depth of descent
during a geometry tree search.</LI>
<LI>G4PhysicalVolumeModel: if opacity (alpha) == 0 (completely transparent),
treat same as pVisAttribs->IsVisible().
G4PhysicalVolumeModel: simplified validation.</LI>
<LI>As a result of Coverity warnings, improved G4PhysicalVolumeModel: clean up
in case of found G4Mesh; hold current transform as object, not as a
pointer.</LI>
<LI>G4TouchablePropertiesScene: modified according to changes in
G4PhysicalVolumeModel.</LI>
<LI>Added G4Exception in default implementation of
G4PseudoScene::ProcessVolume().</LI>

<UL>
<LI>G4OpenGLImmediateQtViewer and G4OpenGLStoredQtViewer: set jpg as default
export format for Qt viewers, for use with <TT>/vis/ogl/export</TT>; jpg
is only available for Qt viewers, pdf is the default for other OpenGL
viewers.</LI>
<LI>Make better use of G4VSceneHandler::AddPrimitive().</LI>
<LI>Fix in G4OpenGLViewer for C++20 warnings.</LI>
<LI>Fixed text alignment issue with a fudge factor in
G4OpenGLQtViewer::DrawText().</LI>
<LI>Fix in G4OpenGLViewer for C++20 warnings.</LI>
<LI>Specialise fudge factor for __APPLE__. It seems only Mac has this
problem. Maybe it's to do with the retina display. Maybe Qt keeps
it's own pixel size.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLViewerMessenger: removed <TT>/vis/ogl/printEPS</TT> command, now
covered by the more versatile <TT>/vis/ogl/export</TT>. Rationalised image
exporting.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLSceneHandler: use C++17 <TT>[[fallthrough]]</TT> in switch
statements.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLViewer: subsume the code in printEPS into exportImage.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLXmViewer::print_callback: call exportImage instead of printEPS.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler, G4OpenGLViewerMessenger: increase the default
display list limit to 10 million. The default OpenGL display list limit
was 50,000, an archaic value from the days when memory was much more
limited than is typical today. The number can be changed with
<TT>/vis/ogl/displayListLimit</TT>, either to increase it further or
lower it, subject to a lower limit of 10000.</LI>
<LI>In FinishView() and ShowView() of X/Xm viewers, comment out glXWaitGL().
Wait for effects of all previous OpenGL commands to be propagated
before progressing.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLSceneHandler: disable backface culling.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLStoredViewer and G4OpenGLStoredQtViewer: suppress kernel visit
(no longer needed) for cutaway drawing.
Note 1: Section and Cutaway can reveal back-facing faces. If backface
culling is implemented, the image can look strange because the back-facing
faces are not there. As described above, we have disabled (commented out)
backface culling. It seems not to affect performance.
Note 2: In G4OpenGLStored(Qt)Viewer::CompareForKernelVisit() we decide if a
"kernel visit" (which involves a reconstruction of the graphical database
from the kernel) is required on a change of view parameters. Simple
rotating and zooming does not require a kernel visit, but more sophisticated
parameters may. In G4OpenGLSceneHandler we implement cutaways using
OpenGL cut planes, so now we have disabled backface culling, we do NOT need
to visit the kernel. This is the change that makes a huge speed up when
a user requests cutaways.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLQtViewer: use 'modelShortName' instead of 'modelDescription'.</LI>
<LI>Fixed compilation error in G4OpenGLXmConvenienceRoutines when C++20 is
enabled.</LI>
<LI>Implemented WindowProc() function in G4OpenGLWin32Viewer for the Win32
OpenGL driver (function that was commented out). It is now possible to
change the Zoom and the orientation using the mouse (like in the Qt
driver). Based on contribution in
<A HREF="https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/20">GitHub PR #20</A>.</LI>
<LI>Implemented AddCompound(const G4Mesh&) method: turns nested
parameterisations into polymarkers of dots - much improved speed.</LI>
<LI>Enable extended WIN32 window in G4OpenGLWin32Viewer.
Based on contribution in
<A HREF="https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/23">GitHub PR #23</A>.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLQtViewer::addNonPVSceneTreeElement(): special case for markers,
use Info() if non-empty name appearing in Qt's scene tree. This allows
the user to design markers, e.g., a list of points, and give them a name
that relates to the providence of the points, e.g., a particular
material or geometry component.</LI>
<LI>Removed deprecated Wt driver.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLStoredQtViewer: moved <TT>fViewId<0</TT> check to top of
constructor to pick up errors in base class construction.</LI>
<LI>Removed deprecated <TT>/vis/ogl/set/</TT> commands.</LI>
<LI>All commands connected with a time window. Use equivalent
<TT>/vis/viewer/set/timeWindow</TT> commands.</LI>
<LI><TT>/vis/ogl/set/eventsDrawInterval [N]</TT> is replaced by
<TT>/vis/ogl/flushAt NthPrimitive [N]</TT>.</LI>
<LI>Fix in G4OpenGLStoredXmViewer destructor.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenGLWin32Viewer: fixed occasional crash with G4UIWin32 when
creating viewer from UI command: avoid indirect call to DrawView()
while still within CreateMainWindow().</LI>
<LI>Comment out makeCurrent() in G4OpenGLImmediate/StoredQtViewer
to prevent red-button crash.</LI>
</UL></LI>
<LI><B>OpenInventor</B>
<UL>
<LI>G4OpenInventorQtExaminerViewer: for tabbed viewer in UIQt, added a
Detach button to move the viewer to its own dedicated and resizable
window on the desktop. Added event handler for mouse wheel to fix the
non-intuitive behavior. Mouse-wheel-forward now zooms/dollys in.
Added viewer button to enable the "axis cross" (3d axes) feedback
mechanism.</LI>
<LI>G4OpenInventorViewer: upgraded the group node sensor to process camera
movements, thus eliminating the need for the camera sensor. The node
sensor receives all camera notifications and is immune to changes in
the camera type.</LI>

<LI><B>Raytracer</B>
<UL>
<LI>Make RayTracerX viewers "auto refresh". This means the ray tracer will

on any change of view parameters. Only affecting RayTracerX; plain
RayTracer is not affected. It is possible to switch this feature off
with <TT>/vis/viewer/set/auto-refresh false</TT>.</LI>
<LI>Removed instantiation of G4The(MT)RayTracer from G4RayTracer.
G4RayTracer is/should be a "pure factory". Its job is to instantiate
a scene handler or viewer on request. G4The(MT)RayTracer should/need
only be instantiated when the viewer is instantiated.</LI>

<A NAME="string-migration-notes">
<H3>A1 - <I>Changes required for advanced use of G4String</I></H3></A>
<UL>
<LI>G4String now has identical constructors to <TT>std::string</TT>.
Replace use of the single <TT>char</TT> argument constructor
(explicitly or implicitly):
<PRE>
// G4String x('a');
G4String x(1, 'a');
</PRE></LI>
<LI>G4String no longer provides call operators for element or substring
access. The subscript operator or <TT>substr</TT> member functions
should be used instead:
<PRE>
// char x = aG4String(42);
char x = aG4String[42];
// G4String s = aG4String(3,14);
G4String s = aG4String.substr(3, 14);
</PRE></LI>
<LI>Replace use of <TT>G4String::index</TT> with <TT>G4String::find</TT>
(interface as <TT>std::string::find</TT>):
<PRE>
// auto i = aG4String.index("arg");
auto i = aG4String.find("arg");
</PRE></LI>
<LI>Replace use of <TT>G4String::isNull</TT> with <TT>G4String::empty</TT>
(interface as <TT>std::string::empty</TT>):
<PRE>
// bool c = aG4String.isNull();
bool c = aG4String.empty();
</PRE></LI>
<LI>Replace use of <TT>G4String::first</TT> with <TT>G4String::find</TT>,
<TT>G4String::last</TT> with <TT>G4String::rfind</TT>
(as <TT>`std::string::find</TT>, <TT>std::string::rfind</TT> interfaces):
<PRE>
// auto f = aG4String.first('x');
auto f = aG4String.find('x');
// auto l = aG4String.last('y');
auto l = aG4String.rfind('y');
</PRE></LI>
<LI>Replace use of <TT>G4String::prepend</TT> with <TT>G4String::insert</TT>
(as <TT>std::string::insert</TT> interface):
<PRE>
// aG4String.prepend("foo");
aG4String.insert(0, "foo");
</PRE></LI>
<LI>G4String still allows implicit conversion to <TT>const char*></TT> but this
behaviour should be regarded as deprecated. User code should prefer to use
explicit conversion via the <TT>c_str</TT> member function when passing to
functions expecting <TT>const char*</TT>, or to take string arguments
by <TT>G4String</TT> or <TT>std::string_view</TT> as appropriate.</LI>
<P></P>
<LI>The following members functions are retained but marked as deprecated,
and with the recommended member or free function replacements in the
<TT>G4StrUtil</TT> namespace:
<PRE>
// G4int i = aG4String.compareTo(anotherString);
G4int i = aG4String.compare(...); // replacement: std::string::compare
// G4int i = aG4String.compareTo(anotherString, G4String::ignoreCase);
G4int i = G4StrUtil::icompare(aG4String, anotherString);
// aG4String.readLine(anIStream);
std::getline(anIStream, aG4String);
// aG4String.remove(42);
aG4String.erase(42); // interface as std::string::erase
// aG4String.contains("char or string");
G4StrUtil::contains(aG4String, "char or string"); // interface as C++23 std::string::contains
//G4String c = aG4String.strip(...);
G4String c = G4StrUtil::rstrip_copy(aG4String); // see also G4StrUtil::{rstrip,lstrip,lstrip_copy,strip,strip_copy}
// aG4String.toLower();
G4StrUtil::to_lower(aG4String); // see also G4StrUtil::to_lower_copy
